I got in contact with Andrea by accident a few weeks ago and straightaway there was a CD in my post office box. „Until Today Becomes Yesterday“ was simply a great present to me. The Artwork was something special. I knew the band already from the sampler „Stones From The Sky“ from NeuroSounds (2007). At this time there was no „true“ Record out, but the song „Submerged Universe“ was an outstanding one on this sampler. 2 years later they surprised me again with this truly masterpiece.

I was astonished that such an „unbeknown“ band is able to stamp mammoths like Pelican and Co into the basement with their incredible tunes. If you are on to compare the debut of Three Steps To the Ocean with the releases of `09 of Pelican, A Storm Of Light, Russian Circles other of this genre you will quickly see that TSTTO is messing around with them!I infrequently have heard such an ambitious, opened, instrumental Record like this one. Very much sweat and patience was put into the details. Never boring or monotone. The electronic elements wrapped into this sound are something new for me and complements the whole issue up to 100%.

In Places TSTTO remind me very much of Omega Massif, at times they are very Russian Circles-likish, and in several parts they sound like Callisto (Noir) or Cult Of Luna. The perfect initiation of the e-bow, the synths or the triplet-melodies produces a typical atmosphere usually known from various Post-Rock-Hymns.

In my opinion „Until Today Becomes Yesterday“ is the release of the year 2009 so far (alongside with Porcupine Tree – The Incident and A Storm Of Light - Forgive Us Our Trespasses). And Three Steps To The Ocean is my insider tip in sludge from north-italy (in addition to Last Minute To Jaffna)!
